Dragon's Keeper

Chapter 46

~Previously on Dragon's Keeper~

Rebekah leaves the room. Marcel grabs her. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" Rebekah demands. "Listen, everybody's running off looking for resurrected witches. Meanwhile, I think I saw one at the church: Genevieve." Marcel states. "What?" Rebekah says in shock. "I can't be sure. I only caught her out of the corner of my eye. But it looked like her. And you and I both know that she would have a reason to wanna be back. A lot of unfinished business, a lot of secrets that you and I don't want to get out." Marcel states. "I have to take MayBeth to the plantation. You need to find Genevieve and end this. End it like we did the last time." Rebekah says. Marcel nods, then leaves.

Rousseau's

Genevieve sits at the bar at Rousseau's. "Tea, please." Genevieve asks. Kieran enters. Cami sees him while pouring the tea. "I'm busy." Cami says. "Cami, just hear me out." Kieran pleads. "You know, I came to your reopening because I wanted to try and make amends. Then I see you talking with Klaus, out in the open, like it's business as usual in the Quarter." Cami says. "It is business as usual. For the past three centuries, the O'Connells have always tried to keep the peace." Kieran says. "Save me the family history. It's all lies on top of lies." Cami says. "Cami, pour me a drink. I have to tell you something." Kieran says. Cami hands him a drink. He takes it. His hands are trembling. "Uncle Kieran, what's wrong?" Cami asks. "I'm in trouble. What happened to your brother Sean is about to start happening to me." Kieran states. "What?" Cami questions, confused. "I've... I've been hexed. And I don't know how long I have." Kieran says. "Wait. I know some people. There has to be some sort of... I don't know, antidote or..." Cami starts. "Cami, I need you to promise me one thing. When it gets bad, I need you to be as far away from me as possible." Kieran says. "No. No! There has to be some sort of way." Cami says, being stubborn. "Of course there is. If you wanna save your uncle's life, all you have to do is take this—" She shows Cami Papa Tunde's blade. "—and make sure it ends up in Klaus Mikaelson's heart." Genevieve says, smiling.

Plantation House

Rebekah and MayBeth leave the car. "I thought I was gonna have to drag you to the plantation kicking and screaming." Rebekah says. MayBeth chuckles. "Yeah, well we all just wanna protect me and the baby, right? Especially Nik." She states. "Hey, I'm on your side, remember? So what gives?" Rebekah says, shocked. "Tonight's a full moon, Bekah." MayBeth states. "So what? You're preggers, you can't turn." Rebekah says, stating a fact. MayBeth being pregnant means that she can't turn. "Yes, well I never had to because I never knew I was part wolf until recently, but I wanted to invite a few people over." MayBeth says. "Of course. Every red-blooded American werewolf will be a bundle of fur and sharp teeth tonight, whilst your cursed crescent clan will be–" Rebekah cuts off. "Human, but only for a few hours and won't be again until the next full moon, so... I asked Josh to get a message out to Eve in the bayou." MayBeth says. "Josh isn't dead yet? Well good on him. I love a nice survival story." Rebekah states. A man leaves the Mikaelson Mansion with a moving dolly. Rebekah looks surprised. "Who the bloody hell is that?" She asks. "Kegs out back, right? Ahem." MayBeth asks. "Yup." The man said. "Right. It appears you weren't gonna wait for me to grant you permission to throw a kegger." Rebekah states. "Listen, you all want me safe, Nik more than others, fine. I'll do as I'm told. I'll play damsel in the glass tower. But tonight's the one night a month that I can meet my other family. Now you could rat me out, send me to my room, or you could help me to throw one hell of a party." MayBeth says.

The French Quarter

Celeste/Sabine walks down the street, followed by Elijah. She turns around to him. "Elijah. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Celeste asks. "My family needs an ally among the witches, and you've helped us in the past. Perhaps together we can avoid an unnecessary conflict." Elijah says. "They may be willing to make a deal, if it were with the noble Elijah. But there will never be any peace as long as it involves Klaus." Celeste states. "Is that what's always is about? You want my brother out of town?" Elijah questions. "I'm just telling you how they feel. My people are scared, they're desperate, but they're not dumb. You have a niece on the way. It stands to reason you'd be willing to discuss how to run him out of the city." Celeste says. "Let's walk together. You can take me on one of your famous tours." Elijah says.

Rousseau's

Sophie and Monique are in the backroom. "You should eat, after everything you've been through." Sophie says. "I was dead." Monique states. "But you're here now." Sophie says back. "Aunt Sophie, what happened to Mom?" Monique asks. "Your mother loved you so much. She had faith that she could use magic to complete the Harvest and get you back. In the end, she sacrificed herself for the cause, for the witches, for you." Sophie says. "And do you have her faith?" Monique asked. "I lost my faith. Then I realized that if I didn't believe it, I would be letting you down. I tried to get it back. I tried." Sophie says. Marcel suddenly appears. "Monique Deveraux. Everyone in the Quarter's been talking about you." Marcel states. "Classy. You kill her mother and now you've come to threaten her?" Sophie says, getting defensive. "I'm not here to threaten anyone." Marcel says, calming her down. "What do you want, Marcel?" Monique asked. "There were three more girls sacrificed during the Harvest. I want to bring them back." Marcel says. "Who are you kidding? You don't care about those girls. You just want Davina back, so you can use her power again." Sophie states. "I just want her alive." Marcel pleads. "He's telling the truth." Monique says. "How do you know that?" Sophie questioned. "I can feel it. He's loyal to her. He's here to help." Monique says.

St. Anne's Church

Cami is sitting in the church, holding Papa Tunde's blade in her hand. Klaus enters. Cami quickly hides the blade. "I got your message. Where's Kieran now?" Klaus asks taking a seat next to Cami. "In the attic. Resting, praying. He's gonna go crazy and die, isn't he? Just like Sean. And we'll still be in this stupid fight because he lied to me about the witches. And vampires. And you." Cami says, getting stressed. "Camille. I can see why you hate me. Truth be told, I have done some dreadful things. But the lies your uncle told were meant to protect you. He is a good man with a loyal heart. And he is your family. As for these witches, their attack on Kieran should be proof enough they are the enemy." Klaus says standing up. Cami follows him, holding the blade in her hand. "Klaus." Cami calls out. He turns around and looks at the blade, then at Cami, then at the blade again. Cami hands it to him. "This is Papa Tunde's blade." Klaus states. "A witch gave it to me. Said it would cause untold pain and torment, even to an Original. She said if I stuck it in your heart, she'd heal Kieran." Cami confessed. "And yet you chose to reject their offer." Klaus says. "Maybe if I were more like you, I could do it, but I'm not–" Cami cuts off. "A monster?" Klaus finished. "I'm not stupid. If there's a war going on, I wanna be on the winning side." Cami says. "Let's see what we can do about saving your uncle, shall we?" Klaus says.

Bayou

MayBeth hangs up some clothes for the werewolves. A golden eyed wolf appears and looks at MayBeth. "Hello again. I'm looking forward to meeting you soon." MayBeth says.

St. Anne's Church

Klaus bites his own hand and lets the blood drip into a goblet. "You've gotta be kidding me." Kieran says. "A vampire is trying to reverse a witch's hex placed on you, and it's the cup you find sacrilegious." Klaus says. Kieran cuts his hand. "Are you sure this is going to work?" Cami asked. "Not remotely. But I can't attempt to use my compulsion to counter Bastianna's curse if the good Father has vervain in his system. Thus, we bleed him out. I never said this would be pleasant." Klaus states. "Just do what you have to do." Cami says.
